Thank you very much.

Im just trying to get the most bang for my buck at this point.

For sure. I'm used to that! Haha. I just think you will be WAY happier with a brand new engine with 0 miles, and and brand new, super tight trans. I was just on the ford racin website and I thought the 347 NA was a good choice, although expensive. I think that's the same engine you mentioned. However, keep in mind it doesn't make peak horsepower until 7000 RPM, which is screaming haha. But I think you'll like it. Now pick a trans that handles 800hp!

Wow. This truck is amazing. Great job!

Can any one tell me will this engine work with my truck, and my current transmission?

No it wont.

Thank you very much azmidget91

Is there a way to know what engines will and will not fit? Or what transmissions will fit what engine? That way I don't have to ask every time I see an engine I like. I tried googling it but never seem to find the answer I am looking for.

Being that you have a modular 5.4, you are stuck with that or a 4.6 if you plan on keeping the transmission. Now you could go to the ford small block engine configuration like the engines you have posted (based off a 302) and get an aod from a pre 97 truck and use a separate controller for it, or just get a non computer controlled transmission. Do you want it carburated or fuel injection? Fuel injection you will need something like a Megasquirt ECU. There is a lot involved in swapping an engine into a modern truck.

Best option is build your 5.4 and put a supercharger on it.

Forgot, also the new 5.0 will bolt up to your trans, but then you would need a separate controller for each.

Thank you very much for all your input. I will look into just rebuilding my engine and trans.

Here is what I would do

Then for your transmission.

Then pay someone a bunch of money to make everything else in the truck work. and forget about emissions.
